Sad to weight the front tip of the bait. That limits you to just one action. If you use a lighter belly weight hook you can actually jerk it like a wounded bait fish. Depending on how fast you reel, you can determine top water, mid water or bottom. Or all of them. You might as well use a paddle tail if you are going to put the weight on the tip.
